Dana 44 Gears
The Dana 44 axle is a medium-duty axle that can be found in front or rear applications. This axle is often used as an upgrade for Jeep vehicles where the Dana 30 and Dana 35 axles have proven themselves unpopular due to their overall weakness. The Dana 44 was used in many older Jeep vehicles such as the Wagoneer and J-series pickups as its 8.5-inch ring gear and thick axle tubes made this a stout axle. This is why the Dana 44 is sought after as upgrades for Jeep Wranglers, Cherokees, Comanches, and Grand Cherokees.
